The media can’t stop talking about the crowds Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is attracting. There are reports that his crowds in California and Portland, Oregon were both larger than 27,000. They breathlessly report on this, while forgetting to mention Sanders is a self-described socialist.
But what Donald Trump and his campaign has planned for TONIGHT in Mobile, Alabama could blow those numbers out of the water. Initially planning for a rally of 2,000 people at a small venue, tickets were grabbed so quickly that major changes had to be made.
Now, the event will be held in the Ladd-Peeles Stadium, a football stadium where the yearly Senior Bowl is played. More than 30,000 people have been confirmed to attend, and the stadium capacity is over 40,000. The free tickets are still being claimed at a fast pace, and show no signs of slowing down!
To put that in perspective, that’s bigger than the largest crowd of President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign, when Oprah Winfrey joined him in South Carolina! That means this Trump event will smash through crowd records effortlessly!
With his next campaign stop being in Alabama, its only fitting that presidential candidate Donald Trump is going to rally up supporters in a jam-packed football stadium.
City officials have confirmed to News 5 the location for Donald Trumps pep rally in Mobile on Friday night has been moved to Ladd-Peebles Stadium. Its the same venue used for the Senior Bowl and University of South Alabama home games.
Its due to an overwhelming response, said Kayla Farnon, spokeswoman for the Alabama Secretary of States Office. More than 30,000 people have been confirmed to attend.
News 5 is told Trumps campaign has gone the extra mile to make the event as accommodating as possible. Parking will be free, WAVE shuttles to the stadium will be provided, and there will be concession stands for food and drinks.
Trumps campaign is fronting most, if not the entire bill for the event, including paying the overtime accumulated by Mobile city workers.

Yes— even tho I don’t have Trump #1 on my list, I do want him safe-— both at the rally AND until this whole primary season is over. My prayers will be for him and any top contender.
Sanders should be concerned, too.

Well, if comes down to Trump vs. Sanders, this is going to be a REAL test case of what this country is going to be like for the next generation.
If Sanders wins with his HONEST and UN-APOLOGETIC socialist platform. I have to say, kiss the America we once knew goodbye.
I might well be proven wrong, however Sanders does not strike me as the typical lying, thieving, corrupt and reprehensible 'RAT (how many do we know? let us count the names, lol). It seems to me that Sanders believes in what he proposes, even if it is misguided. He thinks that more government (i.e. socialism) is the solution. He is wrong, but I don't detect malevolence in him as I do in the Chucklehead from Chappaqua.
IN a hypothetical Trump vs Sanders match up, I don't think Sanders (or anyone) is going to out-Trump Trump so far as self-confidence, positive view of the future, and the 'can-do' attitude we have seen thus far. The man doesn't know the meaning of the words "give up" or "surrender" and that is a quality we need in a President.
Just to qualify, I really like Ted Cruz, I think he is the most qualified 'politician' (compared to the others, Trump is NOT a politician), the way I see the symmetry, Trump is the unstoppable barbarian on the outside of the RINO castle, Ted Cruz is the 'inside man' who will assist Trump in gaining entry, and then direct him to all of their enemies inside.

Bigger crowd than Obama's biggest... and more than a sissy's response to Putin and the other tyrants around the world.

I like what he`s saying NOW but a detailed examination of his PAST has shown that he HAS often said the opposite.
Did he have a change of heart, its possible, but until I see this for certain, as in his track record as a working legislator or the executive branch, I only hear the words but don`t yet see the sincerity.
Now with Cruz, I have, therefore, I don`t yet trust Trump as POTUS-VPOTUS, yes. That will give him time to PROVE he really will walk that talk.

That stadium looks like it would hold more than 40 thousand.
I checked it out. It doesn't.

As an ultimate jab, when Trump accepts the nomination, he should have authentic marble columns flown in from Greece :)The Greek government be hurting for cash. The Parthenon on the White House lawn. With a neon Trump logo.

Just so long as Obama doesn’t get her Ruby slippers.
I hear they’d go nice with his bath-house get-up.
